The Parks in the immediate vicinity of the Falls are free, and you need not spend a penny to see Niagara in all its grandeur, but if you wish lo make a tour of the Falls, crossing bridges, descend- ing incline railways, or riding on the Maid of the Mist, you will have to pay for such privileges.

It is applied only to the locality, and is today the synonym for the ideal waterfall. It is ol Indian origin, for the Indians once inhabited all this country, and much of the nomenclature of Western New York is traceable direclly to them. Niagara is supposed to be borrowed from the language of the Iroquois, and means "The Thunder of the Waters." It was the name of a tribe, for it was an Indian custom to call their tribes from the most important natural feature of the country they inhabited, or to give the tribal name to such feature, The first description that we have is that of Father Hennepin, published in 1678. We here quote a part of his description; "CI Description OF THE FALL OF THE RIVER NIAtJAR.X, WHICH IS SAID TO BE SEEN BETWEEN THE LAKE t)NTARIO AND THAT OF ERIE. "Betwixt the Lakes Otilario and Erie there is a vast and ^^ prodigious cadence of water, which falls down |tr^^'^'*^^'V-> - "" after a surprising and astonishing manner, '.S?^=?-^t^C^.- {vjlAGARA RIVPR AND GORGE. •*• <. .;. RIVER VIEW TRAINS BY THE MW YORK CESTRAL NO VISIT to Niagara Falls is complete without the- trip to Lewiston, which can be made so easily and quickly. The Lewiston Branch of the New York Central extends from Niagara halls along shelving rock over-looking the magnificent scenery of the Niagara Gorge, and m full view of Queenston Heights, the Whirlpool Rapids and Brocks Monument. River View 'trains, fitted with observation cars, are run at frequent intervals, connecting at Lewiston with a fine new steamer on Niagara River, making trips to N.agara-on-the-Lake. from which point connection is made for Youngstown, etc. The New York Central has acquired control of a very desirable grove at Lewiston for excursion purposes, and special excursion rates will be quoted to Sunday Schoo s and Societies upon 'application to R.

Tis true, //u/y and SutMotid boast of such things ; but we may well say that they are but sorry patterns when compared to this of which we now speak. At the foot of this horrible pre- cipice we meet with the River A^ia^nm,, which is not above a quarter of a league broad, but is wonderfully deep m some places It is so rapid above this descent, that it violently hurries down the wild beasts while endeavoring to pass it to feed on the other side, they not being able to withstand the force of its Current, which inevitably casts them headlong above six hundred feet high. /' ~''\' / ^ " This wonderful Downfall is compounded of two cross-streams of Water and two falls, with an isle sloping along the middle of it. The waters which fall from this horrible Precipice, do foam and boyl after the most hideous manner imagin- able, making an outrageous noise, more terrible than that of Thunder; for when the wind blows out of the South their dismal roaring may be heard more than Fifteen Leagues off." The Niagara River is merely one link in the chain which conducts the waters of Lake Superior to the Atlantic. It is called the Niagara River, between the two lakes Erie and Ontario. When it leaves Lake Ontario, it is the River St. Law- rence, which is 700 miles long, and falls into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It is a part of the boundary line between the United States and Canada— so decreed by the Treaty of Ghent in iSi?. By that treaty, the boundary line runs through the center of the Great Lakes, and through the deepest ^.■.j^ridgt- channel of the rivers. By this means over three-fourths of the ■' I ' HSfei ! A.

Of these islands there are in all thirty-six, of which Grand Island is the largest, and Goat Island the most famous. In its course the river falls 336 feet, as follows : From Lake _^ Erie to the Rapids above the falls, 15 feet ; in the Rapids, 55 feet; at the Falls, 161 feet; from falls to Lewiston, 98 feet; from Lewis- "^5.?rijl.»J ton to Lake Ontario, 7 feet. Its sources are: I Superior, the larg\si body of fresh water in the world; 355 miles long, 160 miles wide, 1,030 feet deep. Lake Huron, 260 miles long, 100 miles wide, 1,000 feet deep. Lake Michigan, 320 miles long, 70 miles wide, 1,000 feet deep. Lake St. Clair, 49 miles long, 13 miles wide, 20 feet deep. Lake Erie, 290 miles long. 65 miles wide, 84 feet deep. Several smaller lakes, with one hundred rivers, large and small, pour their waters this way, draining a country of more than one hundred and fifty thousand square r.iiles. This is the drainage of almost half a continent, and whose remotest springs are 2,000 miles from the ocean.

The river over the American Fall falls 159 feet, and over the Canadian 165, the difference being caused by the greater accumulation of rock at the base of the former. The Niagara is never frozen over, but it accumulates more ice than any other river in the world. The average depth of the river from Lake Erie to the Falls is about 20 feet. In some places it is over two miles wide. At the narrowest point near the Whirlpool, the current is above 40 miles per hour, and at the widest part about four miles per hour. Between the Falls and the Whirlpool, the depth varies from 75 to 200 feet. At the Whirlpool Rapids it is estimated at 250 feet; in the Whirlpool at 400. But it should be recalled that this is the depth of the water alone. The mass of stone, gravel, shale, etc., which in one way and another has been carried into the channel, lies below the water and above the original bottom of the gorge, which, therefore. is probably as deep again. Various estimates have been given of the amount of water going over the Falls. A point 300 feet wide below the Falls being selected, the depth estimated, and the velocity of the current known, it was estimated that 1,500- 000,000 cubic feet passed that point every minute. Another estimate says 100,000,000 of tons pass through the Whirlpool every hour. Judge DeVeaux estimated that 5,000,000,000 barrels go over every 24 hours; 211,836,853 barrels an hour; 3.559.614 barrela a minute; 58,343 barrels each second. UJ^tt^f^ftriK;^ FACIAL BLEMISHES.

The Falls are in latitude 43" 6" north ; longi- tude 2° 5" \'itAi from Washln^iton, or 790 5" west from Greenwich. The Horseshoe Fall has an agRregate length of 2,000 feet; the American Fall about 800 feet. The view of the Falls at sunrise and at sunset is particularly grand. The moonlight views of Niagara are indescrib- ably weird and delicate, and it will repay the traveler to journey far to see them. Solar bows formed by the reflection of the sun on the spray can be seen on any bright day. when the visitor is between the sun and the spray. Lunar bows, seen at nigh', are formed in a similar way by lunar beams. The spectator must be similarly placed. The roar of the Falls can be heard a long way if the wind blows tow -d the listener. It has been heard at Toronto, 44 miles, and at BufValo, 22 miles. When the wind blows from the listener, the roar is hardly heard, even when one is within a few feet of the cataract. A loud roaring of the Falls is said to indicate rain. The rain winds come from the west, and a west wind brings the sound over the village. Niagara Falls in winter is a scene that no pen can describe. The ice bridges are simply accumulations of ice that fill the gorge below the Falls. The ice is often 30 feet thick, and its surface is as uneven as it is possible. These so-called bridges can be crossed with safety. Sometimes they extend up and down stream for half a mile, and several winters it has dV.v. tS'lsi-'-*'^"-'^ ^ ■ i-SfS'^ ..:»»^«-, -,..; L . V J. H. ULLENBRUCH_, 2irfc3 (Dptictan.

About every eight fee. stays were attached to his rooe. and running from each shore to near the centre of the span ; and at each point two ropes diverged, one on either side to the nearest bank. Across the rope at this point, and afterward at a point midway between the old Suspension Bridge and the Falls, he repeatedly crossed the chasm, performing tricks, at one time wheeling a wheelbarrow ; once carrying a man on his back ; once with peach baskets on his feet (this when the Prince of Wales was a spectator), and once in the night, when an attempt was made to light up the chasm. He carried a heavy balance pole, by which he steadied himself. He was a man of iron nerve, and could he have obtained permission, would have stretched his rope from the Terrapin Rocks to the opposite shore, and thus, in the midst of the spray and rainbows, have assayed to cross the yawning gulf, and he probably would have succeeded. Since that time not less than three men and one woman have performed the feat of walking over the chasm on a tight rope. .

Robinson, a brave and noble man, and one whose name for deeds of daring and for assistance rendered to Aien who were endp.ngered in the Rapids of the Niagara will ever be fondly cherished here. In 1S46, a small steamer, called the "Maid of the Mist," was built below the Falls, and made regular trips up close to the Falls and back. In 1S54, a larger and better boat, 90 feet long, was built, and continued the business successfully. In 1S61, being restricted to the Canadian shore for passengers, she did not pay, and as the Sheriff was about to levy on her for debt, it was necessary to get her away. There was but one route. But who would pilot her? No one but Robinson, and he agreed to deliver her at Lake Ontario, and he did. Two men went with him, and on the date above they started. In tha Whirlpool Rapids the boat was terribly battered, and her smokestack torn ofl, the men being knocked down and powerless. When she reached the Whirlpool, Robinson seized the tiller and, before she was sucked into any of the eddies, guided her into t! e outlet, whence through the rushing, dashing waters she sped like a bird, and reached Lewiston and quiet waters in safety. Robinson is said to have received 500 for his services during the 20 minutes intervening between leaving the ferry stairs and their arrival at Lewiston.

The idea was first publicly spoken of by Lord Dufferin in a speech delivered in Toronto before the Ontario Society of Artists, on September 26, 1878. In the following October, subsequent to the conversation with Governor Robinson referred to. Lord Dufferin formally brought the matter to the attention of the New York State authorities in a letter to Governor Robinson, who laid the project before the Legislature in the fol- lowing January, and recommended the appointment of a com- mission to consider the subject. A commission was accordingly appointed. Its report recommended the acquisition of the lands adjoining the Falls, and the appointment of a commission to take the necessary legal measures. Canadians are justified in claiming for Lord Dufferin the credit of being the agitator of the free park idea; Americans may continue to maintain that Governor Robin- son deserves ihe honor of taking the first step to make the Falls free. As a matter of fact, all that either of them did was to become impressed (rather tardily than otherwise) with the public sentiment in the matter, and to recommend legislative action. Lord Dufferin urged the matter upon the Provincial Government of Ontario ; Governor Robinson brought it before the Legislature of the State of New York ; and the slow machinery of legislation was fairly set at work on both sides of the river. Strange as it may seem, determined opposition was encountered, both in the form of private interests and legislative indifference.

GOAT ISLAND.— The " Gout Island Group" so-called, consists of a large island standing on the verge of a cliff over which the cataract pours, and dividing the river in such a manner as to form from its waters two Falls— the one being known as the " American " AnA the other as the " Horseshoe or Caimdian Falls," unA includes sr-eral other smaller islands, notably Bath Island, Luna Island, Terrapin Rocks, Three Sisters Islands, and ten others not yet accessible by bridges. Goat Island was, in ancient times, one of the favorite burying grounds of the Indians, and yet preserves traces of their funeral rites. It was particularly revered as iht spot where chiefs and noted warriors were buried. Crossing the first bridge, from which, both up and down stream, is to be had one of the grandest views of the Rapids, you reach Bath Island, some two acres in extent A few rods below and near the Falls, is Chapin Island, so-called because a man of that ^'^'•^"^s'^isuh.^- -^^l^S^fSH- ESTABLISHED JULYi.i,!i«879- PHOTOCKAPHED FROM LIFE. * (Manufacturer for the U.

Descending the stairs on what, from its shape, is called " //ogS Back," you stand next to the Little Fall, beneath which is the famous Cave of the Winds ; and crossing the little bridge at your right you reach Luna Island. . „ . . From the further point, protected by an iron rail, we see the most desirable near view of the American Falls and Rapids -which are so close that it is possible to dip the hand into the rushing tide passing over the verge. Here. too. one gels an excellent view of the debris of rock and shale deposited by the action of the torrent at the foot of the American Fall, and also a fine perspective of the gorge below. , .„,.•„ j i i i„„^ ^ ^ This spot is called Luna Island, because the lunar bow is seen here to the best advantage. It has often been remarked by strangers that this island trembles, which is undoubtedly true; but the impression is heightened by imagin- ation. It was wtiile climbing over the rocks directly under this Island that Dr. Hungerford, of Troy, N. Y., was killed in the: spring of 1839 by the crumbling of a portion of the rock from above. , This is the only acci- dent that ever occurred at Niagara, by the falling of rock. LOUIS W.

On the northern shore of this island, a few feet above the brink, is a spot of mournful memory. On June 21, 1849, the family of Mr. Deforest, of BulTalo, with a friend, Mr. Chas. Addington, were viewing the scenery from this point. The party in fine spirits were about leaving the island, when Mr. Addington advanced playfully to Miss Annette, the little daughter of Mr. Deforest, saying, " I am going to throw you in," at the same time lifting her over the edge of the water. With a sudden impulse of fear the child sprang from his hands into the river. With a shriek the young man sprang to save her, but before those on shore had time to speak or move, they had passed over the precipice. The young lady's remains wer« found the same afternoon in the Cave of the winds ; and in a few days afterward the body of the gallant but fated man was like- wise recovered and committed to the village cemetery. This is, perhaps, the most touching casualty that ever occurred at the Falls. Reaching the top of the bank, proceed straight ahead, and you soon catch the first glimpse of the " Horseshoe Falls" so called from its resemblance to that article. The building before you contains the dressing rooms for the Cave of the winds, and leads to the famous Biddle Stairs, so called from the President of the ^^^f '^ ^ United States Hank, Nicholas Biddle, who, in 1829, contributed a sum of money for their erection. ,' > /;'''i/^~S---°^"- J FISCHER l> <1_PIAN0S S5,000 IN USE.

Proprietor. Shortly after their erection, the well known Sam Patch, whose diving propen- sities made his name a household word, made his famous leap of too feet into the river, in i8^o. Midway between the foot of the-io stairs and the Canadian Fall he erecteu a scaffold 96 feet high, from which he made his successful leap. He repeated it successfully the same year ; then went to the Genesee Falls, at Rochester, and jumped and was killed. He never rose to the surface after he jumped, and his body was not found for some days, and then miles away. After leaving the Biddle Stairs, follow the path along the bank, and you soon reach the spot where a huge slice of the land has fallen. One slide occurred in 1843, another in 1847. Within 20 yea .s more than 20 feet in width and 400 feet in length have gone down. Proceed a little further and you stand above and in full view of the Canadian Fall. Go down the Terrapin rocks; it may be tiresome, but it will amply repay you. The bridge is subject to the action of the spray; care should be taken in crossing it. In the winter of 1852, a gentleman from West Troy, N. Y., while crossing to the tower, fell in' ) the current and was carried into the verge of the Fall, where he lodged between two rocks. He v/as discovered by two citizens, who rescued him by throwing out lines, which he fastened around his body just in time, and was hauled in almost senseless. He remained speechless for several hours after being taken to his hotel. As you stand inside the iron rail and overlook the vast gulf below, you are in the very center of the Niagara. The old Terrapin Tower, also called Horseshoe or Prospect Tower, of which we give an illustration, stood on these rocks. It was built in 1833, of stones gathered in the vicinity. A round tower, 45 feet high, 12 feet diameter at base, and eight feet at top, with a gallery near the upper end — a rugged structure, in perfect harmony with its surroundings.

At the foot of the stairway you will find the landing of the steamer Maid of the Mist. You should not fail to take a trip on the boat, it will ever be remembered as the grandest steamboat ride in the world. NEW SUSPENSION BRIDGE.— Next in order comes the New Suspension Bridge, directly below the American and Canadian (Horseshoe) Falls. It was origin- ally built in 1868-69 with wooden truss and towers. In 1884 new towers of iron were put in, and in 1887-88 new cables, anchorages and steel truss were substituted for the original ones, making the entire structure actually new, and widened to allow the pass- ing of carriages The length of span is 1,268 feet between towers. Height of roadway above river, 190 feet. Height of towers 100 feet. Length of cables between anchorages 1,840 feet. The entire work of rebuilding the bridges was accom- plished without interruption to travel. A particularly fine view of both the American and Horseshoe Falls, as well as the river below, is obtained from the bridge. Charges— each person to cross and return, 25 cents. n.E.i.

This was at the point on the Canada side about ten rods below the Falls, and was simply a huge ledge of rock overhanging the precipice. One should visit Canada in the afternoon, for the sun is then at your back, and its full glory is thrown on the opposite Falls, and in the afternoon alone can rainbows be seen on the Canada side. CANADIAN ISLANDS.— Following along the river bank, one crosses to Cedar Island, on which is an observatory or pagoda, and skirting along the Rapids for about a mile, with as fine scenery as Niagara can afford, you reach the beautiful Clark Hill Islands, three in number, and connected by beautiful suspension bridges, erected in 1878.

Returning down the river along the ledge of the bluff for two miles or more, passing the Suspension Bridge, which carries us over to Canada, two miles further on we come to the New Cantilever Bridge. CANTILEVER BRIDGE.— This bridge was the first one of any magnitude ever constructed on the cantilever principle. It is a marvel of engineering skill. It was built by the Central Bridge Works, Buf- falo, N. Y., for the Michigan Cen- tral Railroad Co., and was designed to connect the New York Central and Michigan Central Railroads, following accurate details of the dimensions, etc.: Length of bridge proper from center to center of end pins, 9:0 feet, divided into two cantilevers of 395 feet each, and intermediate span of 119 feet. The towers are braced wrought iron structures, and rest on masonry piers 38 feet high. The foundations under the towers are of beton, eight feet thick, built directly on the rock, forming a uniform, solid and endurable mass. The trusses are two in number, 28 feet apart between centers; the panels are 25 feet long, excepting those of the intermediate spans, which are 24 feet, and the end panels on the shore arms of the cantilevers, which are 20 feet long. The depth of the cantilever trusses from the towers is 56 feet, and at the ends 21 feet at the shore ends, and 26 feet at the river ends. The structure has been proportioned to carry, in addition to its own weight, a freight train on each track at the same - — HOR.5EJHOC TAU^S C. C. Schneider, the chief engineer, has furnished the AvH^;-, :V-,V>- r l!!^WHIRLPOOL RAPIDS PARK THE Whirlpool Rapids and Park is situated on the Canada side of Niagara River, just below the great Railway Suspension and Cantilever Bridges. The edge of the Rapids IS reached by an INCLINED RAILWAY worked upon an exceedingly safe and simple principle. There are two cars connected by two endless sieel wire cables, and are run by the weight of water. Having reached the edge of the Rapids by the means described, the visitor finds himself in the midst of a scene of wild grandeur which is almost inde- scribable. For nearly 400 feet the cliffs rise in a nearly per- pendicular line, and at their feet the wildly rushing waters leaping in^- .he air to a height of thirty and forty feet, and dashing itstlf into white foam against the rocks, forms an ever varying scene which fascinates and holds spell-bound the beholder. Your visit to Niagara is not complete without this view, and that you may carry it away with you, we can make you an instantaneous photograph of yourself with the Rapids in the background— a souvenir of your visit to Niagara that will be a "thing of beauty and a joy forever."

In the warm days of summer this is a most delightfully cool and shady retreat, the cliff forming a natural protection from the rays of the sun, while the immediate presence of the swift-rolling waters insures a perennial coolness. Two means of access to the water's edge are provided, the first being a series of steps forming a long flight of stairs, and the other a unique inclined railway operating two cars, running by ihe specific gravity of water in the tanks under each car, filled from a spring at the top of the clifl, and emptied on the arrival of the cars at the foot of the incline. The ascent or descent is made in one and one- half minutes, the loaded car from above being the motive. power used to hoist the lighter car from below. The visit to this park, including railroad, costs 50 cents. Nowhere else can so perfect an idea of the tnormous power of the river be obtained. Rushing through the narrow defiles, the water here meets with such restriction as to make it leap in some places to a height of twenty feet, the rolling surges of the stream being exactly similar to those of the ocean in a storm. It is also well to add here. a brief mention of the excellent photographic arrangements of this Park. Persons or parties can here be photographed with the Rapiits in the background, the picture making one of the most interesting and noteworthy obtainable. mmmnamtms HOTEL PORTER, Niagara Falls, N.Y., under the manage- ment of Mr. Robert E.

While directly away from us winds the Niagara till it is lost in Lake Ontario beyond. If you desire to descend to the water's edge, retrace your steps and cross to the American side, where much the best view can be had from the De Veaux College Grounds. From here Brock's monument is visible on a clear day. BROCK'S MONUMENT.— Brock's Monument is on Queenston Heights, six miles be- low the Falls. It is a handsome shaft, erected to perpetuate the memc y of General Isaac Brock, who fell here in 1813. The first monument was built in 1826 and was 126 feet high. This was de- stroyed by explosion on the night of the 17th of April, 1840, and was replaced by the present structure in 1853. It is 185 feet in height, the base being 40 feet square and 30 feet high. Four lions facing the cardinal points of the compass rest on this as well as on the pedestal, 16 feel square by lO feet high, ornamented in alto-relievo by lions' heads, alternated by wreaths. The shaft is of freestone, 75 feet THE ON THE AMERICAN SIDE, CATARACT HOUSE Niagara falls, n.y. BEST HOTEL AT NIAGARA. ADJOINING STATE RESERVATION, AND DIRECTLY OPPO- SITE GOAT ISLAND, J. E.

WHIRLPOOL RAPIDS, AMERICAN SIDE— The effect of changing the point of view is nowhere better illustrated than in the case of the Rapids above named. Seen from the Canada side they have all the advantages of cool, shady walks and uplands as it relates to the position of the sun in the warmest portions of the day. But as seen from the American side they have a peculiar charm in the fierce glint of the sunlight illuminating the crests of the flood, and in the emerald and opal translucence of the waters as they pass in their swift career. When it is remembered that about 100,000,000 tons of water pass over the Falls every hour, and that this quantity is compelled to pass between steep cliffs to a point about two miles distant from the Falls, where the course of the river turns abruptly at an angle oi 45 degrees, it will be understood, even by those who have never witnessed the scene, that such a terrific force must cause a fearful commotion in its rocky bed.

During this ascent of twenty minutes the tourist enjoys enchanting views of vineyard-clad hillsides, broad fields dotted with farm houses and villages, and the azure plain of Erie's waters with the Canadian shore dimly visible on the horizon. A few minutes run from the summit brings the train to the very shore of a charming lake, small in comparison with Erie yonder, ten miles away and seven hundred feet below, yet a good twenty miles long, in some places narrowed almost to the width of a small river but otherwhere spreading into broad bays with good stretches for sailing or steaming. On the shores of this twenty mile strip of water are various settlements which collectively offer all the pleasures (save the sounding of the sea,) which lure people from home. " A city upon a hill " is Mayville. the pretty village at the head of Chautauqua waters. By the lakeside the Chautauqua House opens hospitable doors. The high promontory, two miles below on the north shore, is Point Chautauqua, and the imposing structure which crowns it is the Grand Hotel, .\cross the lake is a grove-covered point, of which more anon. Scattered at intervals along the shores are quiet colonies : Maple-Springs, Whiteside's, Long Point, Bemus Point, where the lover of solitude may find a safr retreat. Near the foot of Chautauqua lies Lakewood, a beautiful " society resort," with well- kept lawns, handsome private cottages, and magnificent modern hotels, of which the Kent House and the Sterlingworth Inn are representative types. The character of the place and the tone of the society are quite in harmony with the beauty of the grounds and the good taste of the management.

A half hour's steaming through this narrows or outlet, which calls to mind some portions of Florida rivers, brings the tourist to the pier of Jamestown, one of the most flourishing cities of Western New York. So ends the panorama of this Chautauqua Lake. But the power which has made Chautauqua a household word in this and other lands emanates from the summer city three miles from the head of the lake. It is named Chautauqua. There used to be many odd notions afloat about this summer city. Time was when people fancied it a "camp meeting," or a sort of boarding school for men and women, who were compelled to rise and go to bed by the stroke of a bell, who practiced all the austerities of life, frowned upon pleasure in every form, and gained their only recreation from an endless ■ ~ . round of pious exercises and profound j^ .. lectures. Happily these ideas — the result chiefly of flippant press correspondence and the American fondness for a joke — have given place to a better understanding of what Chautauqua is and aims to be. The name of Chautauqua has become .associated with a system of educa- tion which has done much to aid the ambitious in self-imposed tasks. The principle now so generally accepted, that education is the privilege of all, young and old. r Olean •:• House OLEAJ^^, >r. Y. STOP : The Riddell, Newly Refitted and Refurnished.

But it is with the summer community life that we have now to do. Chautauqua— (Post-office, Chautauqua, N. Y., Express Office, Chautauqua, N. Y.) is easily accessible from Mayville, Jamestown and all points on the lake by swift steamers plying frequently between the various points on both shores. There is also a direct approach by rail from Mayville at the head of the lake.

The visitor pays so much a day, takes what he pleases from the bill of fare, and leaves the rest alone. If a man prefers to dine entirely upon desert that is his own affair, and Chautauqua hopes only that it may agree with him. In closing, it should be remembered that Chautauqua is not only a place; that its influence extends over 'his and other lands; that in the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle there are thousands of earnest readers who are seeking the true happiness which comes from intellectual effort; who are reading diligently and systematically in literature, history and art; who are encouraged with the thought that "education endsonly with life," that it is never too late to accomplish something, and that he loses sight of the great object of life who does not by persistent effort try to develop himself to the utmost of his ability. Chautauqua is perhaps doing its best work in the homes of the American people, neglected. Chautauqua is sometimes represented as a Puritan-like colony, whence " jest and youthful jollity " are banished, and where sport of every kind is frowned upon. Now, while it is true that certain amusements are for many reasons tabooed, yet, on the other hand, every facility is offered for the f lyment of what is unquestionably wholesome and healthful. Nor again, is this summer city given up wholly to the pursuit of liter- ature, science and art. If one is so inclined he may spend a summer at Chautauqua without any more intellectual wear and tear than is involved in listening to bright, humorous lectures, entertaining readings and good music, in watching fire-works and illuminated fleets, and in taking athletic exerc'se.
